It is widely spread in Malay cultural realm in Malaysia, Indonesia, Singapore and Brunei. The artform is indigenous in Malay Peninsula, Riau Islands, Sumatra and coastal Borneo. EtymologyIn the Malay language, bangsawan means "nobleman". Bangsa means "nation", "race", from the Sanskrit word vamsa which means "family", "dynasty". The suffix -wan comes from the Sanskrit suffix -vant. A person is called bangsawan if he is descended from royal family (kings, princes, etc.). The theatre is called bangsawan because it is most often depicting the legends and stories of Malay nobles that took place in istana (Malay palaces and courts). There was another category of noblemen in Indonesia, precisely in Java, called priyayi, who were not members of royal or princely families but formed a sort of nobles of the Robe, exerting administrative functions, including that of adipati (governor). ThemeThe bangsawan theatre usually centered on istana or Malay palace.[1] The main theme of bangsawan theatre is usually based upon the adventure, romance and conquest of Malay sultans, kings, heroes, nobles, princes and princesses, that took place in various Malay courts in the archipelago. The fertile local Malay legends and epics such as the "Sulalatus Salatin" provides storylines and theme for the story to develop. The Malay King such as Seri Tri Buana and the popular Malay heroes such as the adventure of Hang Tuah of Malacca are the popular bangsawan themes. Another themes such as "Seulas Nangka" story about the history of Siak Sri Indrapura Sultanate.[2] FormThe bangsawan theatre is quite similar to western opera or drama, where the stories are presented through acting and singing, and certain characters are played during performance. The stories are drawn from diverse sources, such as local Malay, Indonesian, Indian, Arabic, Chinese and Western sources. Music, dance and costumes are used depending on the story being told. The performance is accompanied by music consists of gendang, rebana, drum and violin, playing Malay music and chanting dendang or Malay songs. HistoryThe bangsawan theatre troupes reached their peak of popularity in the 19th to mid 20th century prior to the great war. In colonial Dutch East Indies the bangsawan theatre has inspired and influenced other form of theatrical performances, such as komedi stambul and toneel. Prior to the development and the spread of radio and television entertainment in the region, travelling live theatres and drama such as bangsawan, was the main source of entertainment for local Malays in the villages and cities alike, and was held in high anticipation and excitement. In Lingga, Riau Islands, bangsawan show enjoyed its popularity among locals until around 1960s to 1970s.[3] However, today in Indonesia, only a handful of bangsawan troupes survive. Nowadays, it is difficult, if not impossible to find any bangsawan troupes in Malaysia.{{CN|date=December 2017}} A bangsawan troupe still operates in Singapore.[4] References1. ^1 {{cite web|title=Teater Melayu " Bangsawan" |publisher= Perpustakaan Digital Budaya Indonesia |date=9 September 2014 |url=http://budaya-indonesia.org/Teater-melayu-Bangsawan/|language=Indonesian|accessdate=24 October 2014}} 2. ^{{cite news |title=Sanggar Latah Tuah Pentaskan Teater Berjudul Seulas Nangka | author=Sesri Engla S | date= 11 June 2014 | newspaper=Tribun Pekanbaru |url=http://pekanbaru.tribunnews.com/2014/06/11/sanggar-latah-tuah-pentaskan-teater-berjudul-seulas-nangka|language=Indonesian|accessdate=24 October 2014}} 3. ^{{cite news |title=Khazanah Melayu: Tonil, Sandiwara, Bangsawan, Drama, Teater... | author=Jaya Kusuma AS |date=19 September 2013 | newspaper=Lingga Pos |url=http://www.linggapos.com/13739_khazanah-melayu-tonil-sandiwara-bangsawan-drama-teater.html|language=Indonesian|accessdate=24 October 2014}} 4. ^{{cite web |url=https://thelongnwindingroad.wordpress.com/tag/old-parliament-house-limited/ |title=A Bangsawan revival by the river |date=26 April 2012 |work=The Long Winding Road }} External links
